Kwara govt discourages branding of items donated to public schools




ILLORIN (Sundiata Scholar)- Kwara Government has discouraged the culture of branding materials donated to public school children with subtle or obvious political messages and indoctrination.

The Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development, Hajia Sa’adatu Moddibo-Kawu, said this in a statement on Wednesday in Ilorin.

She says the practice, which includes emblazoning the picture of the donor on such books or school materials, should stop.

“While every support for public school is welcome and appreciated, the government has a standing policy that such materials do not come with political branding of any kind.

“It is on record that education materials that the state government donated to school children between 2019 and now, usually do not come with the picture of Gov. AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.

”This is because the governor feels such practices are not healthy for young children. So, public officials and private individuals should kindly take note of this.

“Again, the government thanks everyone who gives any form of support for public education,” she said. (NAN)
